Tonight

Famous quotes containing the word tonight:

    “And tonight our skins, our bones,
    that have survived our fathers,
    will meet, delicate in the hold,
    fastened together in an intricate
    lock. Then one of us will shout,
    “My need is more desperate!””
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “Don’t you know there are 200 temperance women in this county who control 200 votes. Why does a woman work for temperance? Because she’s tired of liftin’ that besotted mate of hers off the floor every Saturday night and puttin’ him on the sofa so he won’t catch cold. Tonight we’re for temperance. Help yourself to them cloves and chew them, chew them hard. We’re goin’ to that festival tonight smelling like a hot mince pie.”
    —Laurence Stallings (1894–1968)

    “Do not enforce the tired wolf
    Dragging his infected wound homeward
    To sit tonight with the warm children
    Naming the pretty kings of France.”
    —John Crowe Ransom (1888–1974)
